Happy July 4th, 2014 to people everywhere who love freedom
“… This week marks the anniversary of America’s birth as a free nation, when we fought a war against a tyrant and seceded from his kingdom. We thought we had banished tyranny from our shores. We thought we had ratified a Constitution that would compel the government to respect our natural rights. We thought we had established a society based upon the rule of law.
We were wrong. We have gone from an inherited tyrant to an elected one. I have never heard President Obama say this, but it seems logical that if he thinks he can lawfully kill Americans abroad, he also thinks he can kill us here.”

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Oh you're so right on going from an inherited tyrant to an elected one. When will America wake up? The answer to ever thing doesn't start with Big Government, it starts with oneself. May God bless the USA!
I hope that you had a wonderful 4th celebration weekend!
The Napolitano article was a little creepy to think about, but important to think about.
Let freedom Ring!
Let's keep believing God is greater than our sin and inadequacy.
I like this post and agree 100% I believe we are approaching a time when the liberty tree may have to be "watered" again. I just posted about this too.
Off topic, I hope you've had some bites on selling the farm. I know what a tough decision and time this be. I pray it will go quickly for you.
God bless. ~:)
